Current Information
Event Cancelled
Saturday 22nd August 2026 10:30 to 17:00 & Sunday 23rd August 2026 10:00 to 16:00
The Board have reluctantly made the difficult decision to cancel this years event.
On 27th July we were informed that the venue was no longer available due to building work.
The Board have been discussing what alternatives we have at such short notice.
Kettlethorpe High School commenced significant renovation work at the premises deemed to be ‘emergency’. The letting agency, Edu-Lettings (through whom we book the venue), were only notified of the work one day prior to the work starting. They contacted our Show Manager Peter Rigby via the email. Firstly they offered the sports hall as an alternative, however we had previously discounted (c.2022) the sports hall as being unsuitable due to the lack of mains electricity provision.
Finding an alternative venue ourselves was deemed impracticable due to the shortage of time to find, inspect and advertise

Rearranging for a future date will be discussed but this is largely dependant on exhibitors, trade and suitable venues
